4.12.2.3 Generation of spectra using efluxer

• A fluxed spectrum with default binning

  efluxer spectrumset=my_src.ds arfset=my_src.arf \
     respset=my_src.rmf fluxedset=my_src_fluxed.ds
  

  The file my_srcbgd_fluxed.ds contains the source spectrum in flux units after.

• A background-subtracted fluxed spectrum with default binning

  efluxer spectrumset=my_src.ds arfset=my_src.arf respset=my_src.rmf \
     backgndset=my_bgd.ds fluxedset=my_srcbgd_fluxed.ds
  

  The file my_srcbgd_fluxed.ds contains the source spectrum in flux units after background subtraction.

Users are warmly encouraged to take into account the caveats on the usage of this task outlined in § 4.8.6.
